While my account was made sometimes around 2014-2016, that time period was essentially me playing about 4 rounds total and not really doing much of anything before shelving the game and coming back to properly begin playing it in 2018.
I first heard about SS13 from someone in EVE Online, a game I played a huge amount of from around 2011-2018. I tried it but ultimately stuck with EVE until 2018, where I quit both due to the group I was part of disbanding and the game in general going into a decline (which still seems to be the case, sadly). I suddenly remembered SS13 some months later and decided to just hop into paradise since it was at the top of the BYOND server list at the time. The earliest round I remember playing during this time involved an admin setting up a lava rage cage in the bar and me just sitting and watching as player after player entered it and left completely roasted, after that I was hooked!
I was playing pretty consistently until around the end of 2020, where I started getting burnout from everything SS13 related and took a long hiatus until only last month where I've finally come back to the game again and have been enjoying the many changes since I left to the maps and combat. I stick with Paradise over other servers mainly because of the people we have on the server, both players and staff - though I have played a fair amount on Goon's servers and a little on TG. Because don't forget - you're here forever...
